Wonders How Many U. S.
Maids There Fall.
CH1CAGQ. April 19.—Ninety-five
per cent of the girls In Paris, France,
who lead evil lives are victims of low
wages, according to a letter received
to-day by Lieutenant Governor
O’Hara from B. F. Gillette, of Paris.
The writer points out that he has fol
lowed with interest the program made
by the Illinois Senate vice committee,
of which Mr. O’Hara is chairman.
"1 have often wondered.” he writes,
“how many young American girls who
come over here to be ‘finished’ and
‘educated’ have been broken down
morally by the life here. I have heard
of and seen several instances.
"The only way to cure the evil, o
an extent, is, I feel q\iite sure, by
giving working girls a living wage, as
probably 95 per cent of the sex pur
suing an evil life are recruited from
this condition of life.”

How One Theater
Manager Wins Patrons.
"A vaudeville house near New York
4,us adopted a practice which it seema
would pay to adopt here,” said a the
atergoer who had just returned from
a trip to New York. "I noticed when
I went to get my ticket that in spite
of the fact that it was a matinee
there were only men in the line to
the box office. When I reached the
head of the line I saw why.
“A uniformed attendant flood just
beyond the window to buy tickets for
women who came without escorts. It's
just one of those little pieces of
thoughtfulness that make a house
popular with matinee audiences. In
cidentally, there was a full house that
afternoon—mostly women.”
Here’s a Gentle Tip
to the Cigar Smoker.
"I’m tired of having cigars broken
in my pockets in these evening rush
es,” said an East Lake man to a fel
low strap-hanger.
"Well, why continue to have them
broken?" inquired his triend. ”1 have
carried cigars about town i, the worst
crushes imaginable—circuo parades
and all sorts of baseball stampeles—
and I have yet to pick remnants of
cigars from my. pockets.
“How do I do it? Simply enough.
I carry the cigars in my hat.”
When Your Watch Gets
Cold Feet (or Hands).
A crabbed little old watchmaker
handed back a gold timepiece to a
man who had brought it in for re
pairs.
“Don't bother me with that," he
said. "All this watch needs Is a little
heat. Hang it up in front of a stove
or a radiator and it will be all right
again in short order. That's the
trouble with half the watches people
bring in here to me to be fixed up.
The oil thickens from cold or ex
posure and the owner thinks he must
go right to a Watch shop. What he
should do is to heat it and get the
oil running freely. It makes me tired
to see how Ignorant some people are
about such things.”
